5 ½: The shrimp-thief

The clock was half past six on Thursday and Hoseok was more nervous than ever before.

"Which of these shirts is better?" he asked from Taehyung, who was sitting on the couch with his co-worker, Eunjae.

"I don't know," Taehyung said without raising his eyes from his phone.

"Decide which one!" Hoseok snapped and pushed two t-shirts into the younger's arms.

"Geez, hyung, why are you stressing so much? You're just going out", Taehyung said and pushed the t-shirts into the arms of surprised Eunjae.

"I... I don't know", Hoseok said and ruffled his hair nervously. It was true. He wasn't usually nervous when he went out with his friends, but this time it was Yoongi, so it was a completely different thing.

"Put this on," Eunjae said and gave the other t-shirt back to the Hoseok. "It's not as slutty."

"And the other one of them is?" Hoseok asked amusedly, taking the black shirt from her.

"It's almost see-through, and I don't know if he wants to see your nipples on the first date," Eunjae said shrugging.

"I don't know. I don't think Yoongi would mind, "Taehyung said with a wink, getting kicked to the leg for that.

"I swear that if you don't stop making 'Yoongi is Hoseok's sugar daddy'-jokes, I'll throw your Nintendo out of the window," Hoseok snickered.

"Ohhoh, why so aggressive," Teahyung laughed, raising his hands in the air defensively.

"Wait, what? Have you been joking about it all the time?" Eunjae asked her mouth open and looked at Hoseok and Taehyungi alternately. "I thought Hoseok really had a sugar daddy!"

"Tae! what did you tell to her?! "Hoseok asked in a panic, turning his gaze to the younger.

"Uh ..." Taehyung muttered as he ruffled his hair and avoided Hoseok's eyes.

"Ugh, I'm hundred percent done with you," Hoseok sighed, shaking his head.

"What's so special about Yoongi? You said yourself that he was 'pretty ordinary', but now you're ready to suck on his toes, "Taehyung asked, making Eunjae choke to Cheeto. Hoseok stared at Taehyung, trying to keep a serious expression.

"I swear that if you say something about sucking your toes again, I'll move out," he said, raising his finger as a warning.

"Mm... I would love to suck your toes," Taehyung said with a seductive voice, a grin on his face.

"Okay, that was it. I'll go!" Hoseok said, taking his shirt and walking out of the living room Taehyung and Eunjae's laugh following him.

Hoseok went to change his clothes in his room. As he stepped out, he stumbled into Taehyung's manga books.

"Ffff- collects those when I'm elsewhere. It would be nice to get Yeontan here by next week," he said to Taehyung, holding his foot.

"Yeah, I'll do that," Taehyung said without raising his gaze. Hoseok ruffled his hair and walked around the apartment nervously.

When the clock was five to six, he was standing in the hallway, jacket on.

"Don't stress, you're just going to ... where are you even going?" Taehyung said leaning against the wall. Hoseok paused to think. Yoongi hadn't told him where they would go. Perhaps Yoongi wanted Hoseok to decide the place? The idea made Hoseok even more stressed because he didn't really know any places in town and it meant they would go to eat at Panda Express.

"Yoongi didn't tell ..." Hoseok said pushing his hand into his pockets.

"Ooh, it's a surprise!" Taehyung exclaimed, his eyes sparkling in excitement.
